If you’re not familiar with the area, this app won’t help you one bit. It’s designed with the assumption that you already know where you are, which bus route you need, and where the nearest stop is for that route. It doesn’t show you where you are or help you plan how to get from A to B. It will show you one route at a time and the current location of any bus on that route, and that’s it. And for an app that pretty much only does one thing, it doesn’t even do it well. The “routes” and “current location” icons are confusingly similar, your location isn’t shown on the map, and the menu buttons are backwards of convention. When selecting a route, the route icons are much larger than necessary, resulting in the menu taking up way too much of the screen. Also, selecting a new route resets the map’s center and zoom level, which would be fine if it showed a dot for your location, but instead you have to manually find yourself on the map again. Bottom line: this app is okay for showing you where busses are, and not okay for anything else you’d expect it to do.

I swear the app users have never been on a transit bus and farmed their coding to Mrs. Goodson’s 3rd-grade class. Since some things works it’s not a 1. The interface is not intuitive, the buttons are confusing and why the hell am I not showing up as the blue dot on the map? Even coffee shops with app show me as the blue dot on the map!! But these yahoos can’t master that? Please do better...I wish my transit system had bought a worthwhile product vs this garbage.

This app is the quintessential example of why cross-platform application frameworks produce pure trash. The UI is nonstandard, and glacially slow, the app is full of bugs and strange and weird interactions. There’s no schedule, just the departure time of the next shuttle/bus. It takes an unbelievably long time to actually get to the departure times. Also the word “security” might be entirely unfamiliar to this developer as I can look at the routes, real time location and routes of all of the companies, universities and communities that RideSystems supports all within this same app. This is a monumentally bad design and is ready-made to be abused. Overall it’s better to just wait on the side of the street wondering if a shuttle or bus will arrive than to use this sorry excuse for an app. The sad thing is this company probably charges an exorbitant amount of money for this trash.

This app makes going to class soooo much better! Especially when you don’t want to sit outside waiting for the bus, you can just chill in your apartment and watch the bus from your phone. Seeing all the different routes and stops is also super great!

I use this app every day. I no longer have to wait in the snow for my bus to come. I just pull up my app and I know exactly where my bus is and how long will be until it gets to my stop. I love the favorite feature!!!
